The one thing that is not true of water is that D. it is a poor solvent.
Water is known as the universal solvent. Water will dissolve more things than any other liquid in the world. Both the chemical and the physical attributes makes water the universal solvent. The molecules in water have a polar arrangement of the hydrogen and oxygen molecules. One of the sides, hydrogen, has a positive electrical charge while the oxygen side has a negative side. The answer is D.
